Vegan Rose-Rice Pudding in Instant Pot

Hello Friends,
         Kojagiri Purnima is around the corner and to celebrate this kojagiri Purnima prepare

this delicious rice kheer(Pudding). Kojagiri Purnima is the harvest festival celebrated in the Hindu month of Ashvin(Sept or Oct). There is a tradition of preparing masala milk, varieties of kheer(pudding) on Kojagiri Purnima. There is a ritual that, the night of Kojagiri Purnima masala milk, kheer is kept under the moonlight throughout the night, and the next day the milk and kheer are distributed as prasad.
         Rice puddings are found in nearly every area of the world. Recipes can greatly vary even within a single country. There are two basic ways to make this creamy dessert that is, baking and boiling. I found making rice pudding in instant pot(boiling method) is very easy. Over the weekend my husbands some friends came to meet us. So for them, I wanted to make a dessert, and one of his friends follows a vegan diet, so I came up with this delicious, creamy vegan rice pudding. Its loaded with coconut milk, rose flavor and has a sweetness of jaggery. This dessert is so nutritious, and it's best to eat as breakfast, as a dessert.
            It is also a good option if you're following a gluten-free, vegan, and vegetarian diet. This recipe covers approx. 10% of your daily requirements of vitamins and minerals. The addition of coconut milk and jaggery to sabudana kheer adds the protein and iron content, making it a more nutritious dish.

My Take:

  1. You may replace coconut milk and oil by adding cow's milk and ghee respectively.

  3. You may cook the rice using manual mode for 20 minutes.
